Apologies

We are really sorry for the non existent updates! The wi-fi at Portsmouth went down and it was not strong enough to boot our system back up. 4G was also not strong enough. Now people are leaving Fratton Park the wi-fi is strong enough for us to connect again. The final score was 1-0 to Portsmouth. Hopefully we will be able to bring you everything as usual from now on.

Pitman's view

Brett Pitman is out for the game against Argyle. But Portsmouth’s top scorer has given his thoughts on this afternoon’s clash.

From what I am told, today’s fixture is one that the fans particularly look forward to.

It’s not a derby, but it is a big game. It’s still only worth three points for a win, but there are some matches that have slightly more emphasis on them.

Plymouth might be in a relatively low position in the table, but they picked up a positive result on Tuesday night.

They also collected a point at Blackburn earlier in the campaign and we know how good a side they are.

Argyle are certainly capable, but it’s more about how we perform and I’m sure our superb supporters will get behind us as usual.

Kenny Jackett speaks

The Portsmouth manager has spoken in the match programme about the visit of Plymouth Argyle.

He said:

Today we face a Plymouth side who have found it tough at times in League One, but that’s only to be expected.

They’ve put a decent run of results together of late and that’s given them plenty to build on.

Both clubs know a lot about each other, having spent the past few years striving for promotion and there is sure to be a competitive edge to the contest.

Bur we’re just treating it as another home game, as we try to bounce back with from defeat with a positive outcome at Fratton Park.

Pitman spotted

Reports are that Portsmouth’s top scorer is out for today’s game but some think that it is a ploy to trick the Pilgrims. We will soon see.
